2022 Chateau Guiraud G de Guiraud Bordeaux, France

A classy, complex nose of passion fruit, mango, lemon tart and gooseberry. Great intensity on the savoury palate with a smokey undertone. Creamy hazelnuts, yuzu zest and green fruits, seasoned with vanilla seeds, lead to a touch of spice on the finish.

ABOUT THIS WINE

The G of Château Guiraud is the Dry White produced from the vines of the Premier Grand Cru, also certified BIO AB.

The G of Château Guiraud is 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Sémillon aged for 7 months in oak.

Harvested like a Sauternes, manually by successive sorting, and matured by the Chateau’s team in barrels that have been used for the maturing of the Sweet Grand Vin, this balanced blend of Sauvignon and Semillon offers a singular expression of the Sauternes terroir, in its “dry” version.
